College Football: Choosing Every BCS Team's 2012 Theme Song

Regardless of the sport, music plays a vital role for all of the fans around each of their favorite teams. The players, coaches and everybody related to the program have their favorite music to listen to before kick-off.

Some are rituals whereas others are just based on how they feel at that very moment. Music means everything to not just sports fans but America.

Looking at all of your teams from the BCS conferences, here are you 2012 theme songs for each and every one.

Note: This is an enjoyable article with a few random yet popular songs (albeit MOST are songs that are suppose to pump you up), so feel free to jot down your preferable 2012 theme song

Florida State: Big Sean Feat. Nicki Minaj—Dance

Florida State might be doing a lot of shaking and dancing (though Mark Stoops will go off on you—great coaching style) with a loaded defense that could be the best in the nation.

The defensive line is nasty, and the secondary is filled with stars. The year really comes down to E.J. Manuel staying healthy, along with the development of the young stars around him such as the offensive line.

Many believe they have arguably the most underrated receiving corps in the nation, which means it could finally be “Hammertime” in Tallahassee next season.

Virginia Tech: Metallica—Enter Sandman

"Enter Sandman" from Metallica is the easy choice since they do not come out to the song at every home game.

Blacksburg and Lane Stadium can get rokcing during night games and it is all thanks to their head coach Frank Beamer.

Virginia Tech has won ten or more games for eight straight seasons (five BCS bowls), and they have carried the ACC. Will they do it again without stars such as running back David Wilson and defensive back Jayron Hosley?

North Carolina State: AC/DC—Thunderstruck

The Wolfpack’s opponents will be feeling “Thunderstruck” this season because most are unaware of the athletes NC State is starting to develop once again.

Mike Glennon at quarterback has several options at his disposal and arguably the best defensive back in the country from a production standpoint last season returns in David Amerson.

Many are just looking at a seven or eight win season, but if they can knock off the Vols in the opener and gain any momentum heading into the ACC then they could be looking at perhaps a double digit-win season (counting bowl game).

Miami FL: Revis—Caught in the Rain

This could have been best for one season ago, but we can use it for the 2012 season as well. The Hurricanes have been on the ground and everybody is giving out their licks right now with the albatross of an offseason they went through last season.

This upcoming season may be even worse since the schedule is not easy. Some experts have picked them from 4-8 to 8-4 and it may be a few more season before they get back into the BCS picture.

Duke: Smashmouth—Hang on

In case you’re a die-hard Dukie for football and not just basketball, I ask you to remain patient and to “Hang On” because the pain will someday end.

It might be sooner than you imagine in an ACC that is watered down quite a bit in terms of the lesser talented teams. Duke has not appeared in a bowl since 1995 Hall of Fame Bowl, but another bowl trip could be on the way.

Georgia Tech: Rev Theory—Hell Yeah

“Hold on, this one’s about to get bumpy” would not be a bad comparison for Paul Johnson and his Yellow Jackets.

They have come close to becoming the best of the ACC on a regular basis but they have not been able to keep that consistency.

Tevin Washington is back at quarterback, so Georgia Tech will not struggle to reach a bowl game but they have a great chance at winning their division despite opening up on the road against the Hokies.

Tennessee: Blink 182-- Wishing Well

The Volunteers have “been gone a long time” and it they really need to become relevant in the SEC and on the national scene sometime soon.

College football is at its best when the premier programs are playing in bowl games and respectable ones at that. Derek Dooley has been thrown on the hot seat despite still being at the early stages of his tenure in Knoxville, but luckily things look fairly bright in 2012.

Mississippi State: Eminem—The Real Slim Shady

Dan Mullen should be looked at as one of the better offensive minds in the game, but his Bulldogs went from 10-3 to a measly 7-6 record.

They had a ton of talent returning last season and yet they looked a bit worse as a squad. Was the 2010 team one that we will be seeing more often, or is the 2011 version something that will appear more often.

Kansas State: The Wanted—I'm Glad You Came

Kansas State got back on the national map several times with Snyder at the helm, and last season was as close of a dream season as we may see in Manhattan.

The Cats were glad that Snyder came back in 2009 for his second successful tenure. The future still looks bright for K-State with Collin Klein back on offense as well as a defense that surprised many last year.

Iowa State: Drake- I'm so Proud of You Ft. Nicki Minaj

“I'm So Proud” is a saying that Iowa State football took the nation by storm after upsetting the Nebraska Cornhuskers a few seasons ago and they made a statement after ruining the BCS title hopes of Oklahoma State Cowboys.

Paul Rhoads will get your attention and then some in his intense and motivational speeches before, during and after the Cyclones games.

Now, Iowa State will look to maintain that passion on the field and hope it translates into even more success.

Baylor: Justin Bieber- Boyfriend

Not only did the entire city of Waco, Texas have Robert Griffin III on their minds, but so did the entire landscape of college football.

The Heisman winner and future first rounder was everything and more for a fan to hope for. If us avid college football fans had a chance we would have never allowed Griffin to bolt off to the NFL Draft.

The shows he put on us against TCU, Oklahoma and Texas were some of the most entertaining games we saw all year and it was clear RGII ‘took places’ that Baylor has never seen before.

Oklahoma: Drake Feat. Lil Wayne, Tyga—the Motto

Even after a rather disappointing season in which they failed to reach a BCS bowl (preseason No. 1), the Sooners have been one of the mottos in college football (at least during the regular season).

Since Bob Stoops' second season in Norman, OU has won 10 ten or more games all but twice. Nine times the Sooners have won eleven or more games. With Landry Jones back, OU could be due for another sensational season.

Ohio State: Lil Wayne—Drop the World

Like many prestigious programs, haters will never go away. After last season's tough stretch, the Buckeyes are ready for a new beginning with Urban Meyer.

Losing Jim Tressel really hurt Columbus, but they have brought in legendary coach Urban Meyer. The guy is a gamer and determined to allow the Buckeyes to "Drop the World" on the landscape of college football.

Michigan State: Bruno Mars—It Will Rain

"When it rains, it pours" is that old saying, and the Spartans saw several close games go their way in 2011.

Plus, Sparty nation hasn’t been this excited over football in seemingly forever. Mark Dantonio has resurrected this program into a legitimate Top 20 program, and he is attempting to get them competing for a national title.

Though they have yet to appear in a BCS game, MSU will break through sooner or later. However, they need their leader, Mark Dantonio, since this program would arguably be back in the dumps without him.

Indiana: LMFAO—Party Rocking

The Hoosiers are expected to become the number one team in the country…..for basketball. So, they will be having a blast win or lose come this fall. The football program is struggling a bit and Kevin Wilson is looking for some sort of improvement in season two.

While major improvement may not come for a while, the football program is hoping they can steadily get better while other teams in the basement of the conference do not make any sort of improvement.

Northwestern: Sick Puppies—You’re Going Down

“It’s been a long time coming” would be the perfect and ultimate understatement for the Northwestern Wildcats.

They may not get best players in America but Pat Fitzgerald has been getting this team into bowl games. It has been four straight if you have not noticed, but they have lost all four of them.

The last bowl victory for Northwestern is even more amazing than never appearing in the NCAA Tournament perhaps. The year was 1949 and it was in the Rose Bowl against California in which the Cats won their last and only bowl game.

Northwestern can only hope that horrifying stat is “going down” before the years begin to pile up.

Purdue: Hazen Street—Are You Ready

“You wanna prove something” is surely a statement that the Boilermakers are attempting to hit on the head for many of the naysayers.

Danny Hope has Purdue headed in the right direction, but they will have to put all of the pieces together if they want to become dark horse contenders in the Leaders Division.

Outside of Wisconsin, it looks like only Penn State stands in the way of Purdue from climbing to the top of the division. Also, with Ohio State ineligible for a Big Ten title appearance, Purdue’s golden opportunity lies right ahead of them.

Michigan: Mack Morrison—Return of the Mack

They are as popular as it gets for the average college football fans, though time will tell if they can improve upon their special 2011 year that ended with a BCS Sugar Bowl victory over Virginia Tech.

Perhaps, I should have chosen a recent song but this classic summer time song brightens up the moods and that is the feeling I get when people ask me where Michigan football currently is at.

The Wolverines are destined for their first Big Ten title since 2004, but more importantly they are competing with the best of them and they may live up to the hype in 2012.

USC: Rihanna Feat. Calvin Harris—We Found Love

Despite losing a boatload of NFL players on defense, they will reload better than anybody and have a shot to reclaim glory.

Every Trojan fan in the nation felt like they found some love when they heard about Matt Barkley returning for his senior season. A likely top-10 pick, Barkley now returns with a USC receiving unit that should be the best in the nation.

The defense has one of the best back sevens out there, and the schedule is not daunting enough to lose sleep. Point blank, these Trojans should be the team to finally dethrone the SEC, assuming they get there.

Washington State: Klaus Badelt: The Black Pearl

Ronald Martinez/Getty Images

Why not?

The Cougars will be improved and we all know that Mike Leach absolutely is in love with pirates. Nothing is wrong with that and this theme song from the Pirates of the Caribbean is played during many sporting events.

Arizona: Staind—Price to Play

Christian Petersen/Getty Images

Rich Rodriguez had a ton of success at West Virginia, but he flopped miserably with Michigan.

He will also have a “Price to Play” at Arizona in a Pac-12 conference that is loaded with playmakers on both sides of the ball. Matt Scott is a legit duel-threat quarterback, but the offense should not be the biggest concern.

A defense that allowed 460 yards per game (110th) struggled to get off the field for the offense and just five starters return.

Rodriguez should have success in time, but it may take some time in Tuscon before they become realistic contenders.

Rutgers: Tinie Tempah—Written in the Stars Ft. Eric Turner

Jeff Zelevansky/Getty Images

“I’m on my way” should be what Rutgers is all about in 2012 on account they are coming off one fine recruiting class. They have had their share of NFL stars, but the consistency has not always been there on the field.

Despite losing Greg Schiano, Kyle Flood and the program will not be changing too much. Of course unless you think moving up to a potential BCS bowl in the near future is a significant change.

Even with Boise State coming next season to the Big East, the Scarlet Knights are gaining the momentum to compete with anybody.

South Florida: Alter Bridge—Rise Today

The Bulls would love to “Rise Today” since they have fooled us for many years in terms of breaking into the BCS.

Once ranked number two back in 2007, USF has high hopes of at least winning the Big East with B.J. Daniels as their quarterback.

Florida State and Miami are two teams they have beaten before, and they are both on the slate in 2012. If they can catch fire and stay consistent (no kidding) past October, they may finally rise to the cream of the crop in the Big East.

Connecticut: Disturbed-- Stricken

Elsa/Getty Images

“Into the abyss will I run” is not exactly what the Huskies want to see from their football program, especially after playing in a BCS bowl just two seasons ago.

Paul Pasqualoni is coming off a modest 5-7 season in which not many expected too much, but the 2012 season should bring them from the "abyss" of college football to more of a relevancy with 16 expected starters returning.

Pittsburgh: Godsmack—I Stand Alone

The Panthers have had way too many coaching changes in the past few seasons (three) and they are praying that Paul Chryst is the guy to take on a successful and long tenure.

Pittsburgh has never appeared in a BCS bowl despite all of the hype and talent they have put on the field. With Chryst being an offensive expert, Pittsburgh is hoping they will “Stand Alone” in the Big East sooner than later.
